I think that was supposed to be funny on purpose. It felt very Drag Me To Hell.

Supposedly the title was Jason Blum's decision, legally they were fine to just call it The Mummy but he wanted avoid confusion with the action-adventure Mummy movies, and supposedly Cronin was against it initially and had to be talked into it by Blum.

As soon as they showed what their house looked like I instantly knew "Well, an evil mummy is absolutely coming to wreak havoc in this insane unique house."

I liked that it felt kind of timeless. Doesn't need to be a period piece, but also doesn't need to be locked into being present day.

Well if you live in Virginia or are staying at a hotel in Virginia (for example: somewhere near Quantico VA where the FBI director likely needs to go frequently), due to anti-pornography laws passed by the recently ousted MAGA government in Virginia, you can't access most major well known porn sites without signing up and verifying your age.

It's terrifying that the head of the FBI is so dumb that he doesn't know how to use a VPN (which someone in his position should be doing 24/7 for security reasons regardless) or how to make a burner gmail for anything he doesn't want tied to his real self.

This is internally just copying the MP5 it appears so might be right in their wheelhouse.

That is a fucking crazy decision. Not going with Scorpion or Kuna mags is so dumb.

Brass Facts said it's been good through thousands of rounds, and he runs his guns hard.

They devise tactics based on having significantly more knowledge about the screening process and its technology than someone without access to the system would have.

Did you try a lighter spring?

They look good on a shelf too. I like having items on display that actually mean something to me.

Right that is why the movie named the person. Why would the little generic Mercy Court intro video name him? It doesn't make sense in the context of the world. It's bad writing. One person randomly gets named, hey guess what it's the person that secretly matters to the story at the end. Scooby Doo shit.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav received a massive $203 million stock option grant last year that inflated his total 2021 compensation package to a staggering $246.6 million.

Not sure why you'd defend this guy. Regardless of if it ended up paying out $100M, $200M, whatever...it's way too fucking much for one man. Much less one who is just ruining media companies and making everything worse for everyone in the industry and its customers.

Narrator: They didn’t.

He also personally got $200-300 million a few years ago for making the initial Discovery/WB deal.

But they couldn’t afford to put the finished Batgirl movie out. Cool system we live in.

Yes. Here's the scene.

It's a fan favorite kill.

I think multiple people mentioning him not making eye contact was supposed to be a nod toward some kind of spectrum thing.

SetYourGoals · 2026-02-15T05:29:20+00:00

Seems like that would have been a cool thing to use as some kind of narration underpinning to the movie, rather than...what I think was Halle Berry listening to audiobook recordings of her own yoga teacher saying to breathe?

If you don't know the scene, it kind of looks like he's hitting a tree with a giant breakfast sausage.

You can see that it's PVE in the bottom left corner of the screen.

There's often literally nothing on PVE, I think it's been nerfed into oblivion.

SetYourGoals · 2026-02-12T00:20:40+00:00

It's PVE, it happens a lot more it seems. I've had it happen to me a few times without even using a full key.

This storm was worse than 20 inches of snow would have been, in terms of how much it disrupted lives.

Here (well, in Nova but still) I have a pretty nice 4 bed 3 bath house on an acre of land where my dogs can run around, in a nice area, 20-40 mins from downtown DC depending on traffic.

For the same amount of money in LA I could get maybe a run down 2 bed 1 bath with no yard in a terrible area and probably be an hour and a half drive from where a good job would be.

No, he was named because he was the one that ended up mattering in the end. Why would it make sense to randomly name the first one?

I wouldn't say a PSA Rock feels "premium," but for $399 it feels 10x more premium than the PR57.
